Shut Out Threats. Keep IoT Talking.

Every connected Internet of Things, or IoT, and Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT, device introduces a variety of data loss and network security vulnerabilities. OpenVPN can help protect your team and their devices no matter where they’re located.

Your IoT/IIoT can be made up of everything from tablets, laptops, and smartphones to cameras, vehicles, health devices, machine sensors, and everything in between. Securing the communications between these devices is critical in protecting your network, and ultimately, business, and OpenVPN can help.

IoT devices make up 30% of all network-connected endpoints. With so many connected IoT devices online and more coming every day, the attack surface is growing exponentially and putting every organization at enormous risk. Keeping your IoT network isolated from the internet reduces your attack surface and the risk of cyber attacks.

Your IoT devices can range from tablets, laptops, and smartphones to cameras, vehicles, health devices, machine sensors, and everything in between. These devices in your environment run on different operating systems, creating interoperability and security challenges. You need easy setup with compatible routers and VPN clients with extensive operating system support. The open source nature of OpenVPN enables you to adapt the code to your device.

For all of the devices connecting to your network, you need to know whether they can be trusted as the devices you’re expecting. Especially in a BYOD environment, it's critical that only authorized devices are connected.

Yes. IoT devices are some of the hardest endpoints to secure under a Zero Trust model because they can't complete an interactive login the way a human user can. OpenVPN closes that gap with digital certificate-based identity and mutual authentication, so every IoT device is verified and granted least-privilege access — the same Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) principles applied to human users, extended to devices.

A traditional flat network trusts any device that connects to it, which means a single compromised camera, sensor, or point-of-sale terminal can become a path to everything else on the network. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) assumes no device is safe by default: CloudConnexa's Zero Trust Application Broker mediates the traffic between the IoT devices and applications via stand-in IPs scoped to a single authorized app, so there's no route into the private network to allow lateral movement.
